Music reviews of CELIBIDACHE / Münchner Philharmoniker - Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 / Te Deum
Music Review: Disappointment in extremis
Rating: 1 Stars
Having been impressed with Celibidache's Bruckner Mass No 3 and 9th Symphony with the Stuttgard Orchestra, and with my devotion to Christian monastic theology and spiritual practice, I was looking forward to a spiritual reading of the 7th symphony. Disappointment does not cover my reaction to this cruel, mindless and brutal dissection of a masterpiece. One only has to listen to the first complex section of the first movement as he deconstructs any flow from the music and reduces one's sense of unfolding, harmonious grandeur to an arrogant but clumsy surgeon suddenly, mid-operation, looking at what he has in his hands and not having a clue how it fit together. Any sense of mystical cataphatic-apophatic rhythmic dynamic complexity breaking through to the transcendent infinite unity is non-existent as this ham-fisted and graceless approach pulls apart one's experience of the sublime. One may learn about tendons by dissecting frogs, but little about its spiritual place in life, and therefore the spiritual life of the world. If one wishes for a tedious, mundane if somewhat gross dissection of beauty and grace, I suppose this is the recording to go for.
I have thrown away very few classical recordings, and when I have a bad reaction usually think it my own fault, and try to listen again over a course of years. After years of trying with this and Menuhin's Brandenburg Concertos, I took great pleasure in smashing them to pieces with a ball-peen hammer.
From memory I quite enjoyed the Te Deum, but detested the 7th so much it never stood a chance.
